Wasn't there a recent thing with their CEO hating Github because of "Githubs agenda of poaching developers" or some shit like that?




I've always been a huge fan of OVH in my previous company. I had never seen this article. I was planning on moving my company's infrastructure from Rackspace to OVH. Reading this article makes me reconsider my decision.

Note to future CEOs: your opinions matter when it comes to getting/keeping customers. Customers not sharing your opinions are likely to leave, if they can, or not subscribe to your services if they're not already subscribed. Bashing github is certainly the best way to alienate the developer community from OVH. Moreover, stating that the reason was because one of their developer got hired by another company makes me wonder what must be the working conditions at OVH. I had thought one day applying there, I won't think about it anymore.


Their CEO is not the brightest guy in the universe. This security notice is well written and signed by him... but obviously not written by him.
